Grape variety

Italia, Muscat de hambourg

Tasting

Bright as the full moon over the great Pacific Ocean, the nose of this delicate and elegant white wine opens on exotic, mineral notes of mango, pineapple and candied banana. Subtle aromas of lychee and papaya come up in the second nose. Expressive and complex, with a frank attack.

Keeping

2 or 3 years will strengthen the mineral spirit of this exceptional wine, born from a one-of-a-kind vineyard on the coral reef. A light deposit in the bottle is natural, and it is a sign of quality. "Franc de pied" vine (non grafted vine stock).

About

Welcome to domaine Ampelidacees

In Rangiroa, in the heart of the Tuamotu Archipelago, we are lucky to work on an entirely new "terroir", in the middle of the Pacific Ocean…

In order to grow exceptional wine, our domaine develops know-how and techniques adapted to Polynesian soil.

Our wines are harvested, vinified and raised at the domaine, according to the high standards we apply to our entire production. Their freshness is undoubtedly the main characteristic of the wines of Tahiti, as well as their mind-blowing aroma. Today the vineyard of Rangiroa produces only white wines (blanc sec, blanc de corail and blanc moelleux) and rosé wine (rosé Nacarat).

We invite you to discover the adventure of Vin de Tahiti : the story of men and women profoundly attached to their terroir, which they are eager to reveal and share through surprising wines with a unique identity.

Localisation

Vin de Tahiti is made in the heart of the South Pacific, in the Tuamotu archipelago in French Polynesia, a territory that includes over 100 islands and atolls, more than 5000 kilometers from the nearest continent. Islands only represents a total land surface of 1622 square miles, scattered over an area equivalent to Europe.

The vineyard is located on Rangiroa, "the island of the immense sky", in paumotu dialect : one of the world’s largest atolls, some say almost large enough to contain the island of Tahiti itself. The atoll, already famous among deep-sea divers for the beauty of the coral reefs of its two ocean passes, is now also known for its wine.

It is grown on a small motu (islet), a few minutes’ boat ride from the village of Avatoru and a 45-minute flight from Tahiti.

On the motu, at the end of the coral road lined with coconut trees, the first rows of vine stocks appear…

This is Domaine Ampélidacées, where the vine grows a hundred yards away from the lagoon and less than 400 yards from the great ocean.
